WOW! What a year 2016 has been. For me personally it's been incredible, but for the rest of the world as a whole not so much. So many icons have passed away this year, and most recently - George Michael, Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds who all passed away during the Christmas period. It is heartbreaking to see some of the horrendous things happening in places not so far from us but fingers crossed 2017 is a stronger year and one that is blessed with peace and harmony.
I thought today I would share with you my 2017 goals and resolutions for the new year as it is now officially 1st January 2017 and this year is a year full of exciting opportunities for my blog to grow. I want to accomplish some exciting and difficult things and I want to continue to grow and learn over the next year. A lot can happen in a year so lets hope I can achieve these goals!
I want to tackle my weight and improve my fitness
Ok so I know we say it every single year; it's a new year, a new start but this year I'm being deadly serious. I'm not going to lie, I hate how I look and how I've become and in 2017 it's time to get off my arse and do something about it. I've set myself aside some targets that are all achievable and I am seriously determined to go out there and achieve them. My boyfriend and I are going to do it together and we're starting off with food changes and then going to build up fitness with the hope of changing my outlook on fitness and hopefully learning to enjoy it. I know I can do it, I just need to get in the right mindset and keep going. I won't loose sight of the end product; a happier, healthier and more confident me.
Build on my blog and improve the quality of my posts
I absolutely love my blog and writing down my thoughts and feelings as well as sharing with you guys all my favourite things. I know blogging isn't all about the numbers but I of course want JustKatiee to grow in 2017. I want to increase my twitter followers and engage more with the blogging community and I also want to particularly grow my following on Bloglovin. I am really determined to put in more effort and make better quality content so that my following grows because the most important thing for me is that people want to follow my blog for the content and the writing, not just so they get a follow back!! I would love to hit 45,000 page views by 2018.
Learn to look after my skin
Let's be honest, I don't really have a skincare routine as such - I sometimes do a proper cleanse and other times I simply cannot be arsed. In 2017 that's going to change and I'm going to try my best to treat my skin and look after it properly. I'm going to build a skincare routine into my evenings and give my skin the love it truly deserves.
Try new things
So it's not technically 2017 yet but I've already come a long way with trying new things during this festive period!! I've discovered that I actually quite like cooked ham (the sort you have with your Christmas dinner), I've also discovered my love for bacon (something I've never previously enjoyed) andddd EGGS!!! OMG I said it!! I never ever thought I'd try eggs again after seriously disliking them for so long but I've decided it's time to try new things and I want to become more adventurous with food so that's where I've started!! In 2017 I'm going to push myself out of my comfort zone and try new things!
Finally pass my driving test
So about 3 years ago I started driving lessons and then life got in the way and University interrupted plans and I never went back to it so this year I'm determined to pass so I can finally get myself on the road and can travel to places when I want.
What are your 2017 goals? I hope you all have the most amazing 2017.
